19 19 <p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p>
20 20
21 21 <p>Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from
22 22 the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a
23 23 href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).</p>
24 24
25 25 <p><div class="indented"><i>Note: the standard <a
26 26 href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> msys startup script uses
27 27 rxvt which has problems setting up standard input and output.
28 28 Running bash directly works correctly.</i></div>

45 45 <p>This command should print a useful help message. If it does,
46 46 other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.</p>
